README for Rhodes-Purdy, Navarre, and Utych "Measuring simultaneous emotions: existing challenges and a new way forward"

To use:
1. Make sure all files are stored in the same directory; otherwise pathing will not work properly
2. Open "analysis_forreplication.do". After cd "", enter the file directory where files are stored between parentheses.
3. Click run; the whole file can be run at once, each operation is marked with the name of the figure and/or table to which it pertains in the manuscript or appendix.
4. Table 2 requires MPLUS. No editing of the file should be necessary to run if the .inp files are stored in the same directory as the .dat file
5. The results are the same for all MPLUS input files; each performs a different test. Each test is labeled as it is in the manuscript.

Data path:
1. Data were stored in .csv format after export from Qualtrics
2. Data were recoded, labeled, and CFA models run to predict factor scores for anger, fear, and negative affect.
3. Data then saved in .dta format shown here.
4. Data then exported to mplus using Stata's stata2mplus command.
